To maintain these sleeves clean at all iii-neg and to allow for a steady movement of he 11; ing' rod, said rod is formed ivii h u s groove which is out in such manner thet the rod is lifted and lowered the edges of the groove Will Wipe the hearing clean, said groove receiving the foreign matter Within the sleeve. It will he noted by this construction that the sleeve may he at all times maintained cie: ned,alloiving fore steady-upivurd thrustof the rod. Particular alien lion is called to the fact that this cleaning oi the hearing sleeve is accomplished Without adding to the construction of either the builder mechanism or the spinning frame.

llhni is claimed is zc l. A spinning flfllflfl, including fixed rails, sleeves supporaed by said rails, a movuhle rail. a rod disposed to reciprocate within the sleeves and move the movable rail. the contacting faces of the rod zinc sleeve being provided with a spiral receptai'lc open at both ends of the sleeve to pro- \ide a lini pocket at such contacting faces to prevent the binding of the lint between the sleeve and rod.

A spinning fran'ie including fixed rails sleeves supported by said rails, a movable rail, :1 rod disposed to reciprocate Within said sleeves, said rod being formed with a "oove, said groove coacting with the sleeve n, foi'ni :1 receptacle for and to receive the lint Within the pocket formed by the groove and the adjacent portion of the sleeve.

1i spinning frame including fixed rails, sleeves supported by so rails, a movable mil, a rod disposed to reciprocate Within said sleeves, said nod being formed Wiih a spiral groove, said groove scrvin to clear the sleeve of the lint'and to simultaneously form a receptacle to receive the line to prevent the binding effect of the lint between the rod and sleeve.

In testimony whereof I afiix my. signature in presence of two Witnesses.
